Whether you need a full manuscript or a sample to assess a foreign-language title for acquisition, Dickens & Doyle handles the entire process, matching your project to the right translator and managing the full workflow from brief to delivery.

A reader report can make or break an acquisition, which is why you need reports written by bilingual experts. Dickens & Doyle's reader reports are written by experienced literary translators with inside-out knowledge of source language and landscape, plus the insight to assess both story and cross-market potential.

Every translator has their own voice. They have the power to define a book's journey in English, too. Our game-changing Pick & Mix lets you meet your perfect match before you commit. Send us a 1,000-word sample and we'll deliver three translations by three different translators, giving you a side-by-side compare-and-contrast of three different flavours.

A translated title is never just a translation. It's a first impression, and can often mean the difference between a book that gets picked up and one that stays on the shelf. We approach titles as a creative challenge, applying the principles of transcreation to whip up three distinct English title options, each accompanied by a back translation and justification.

Not every project fits a neat and tidy brief. Need an interpreter for an author event or tour? Looking for bilingual copy-editing? If it sits at the intersection of language and literature, we can probably help. Get in touch — we're always happy to talk through what's possible.
